On the field last night, United played out an entertaining 2-all draw with Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Marcus Rashford came out after the game and said he’s “confused” why he wasn’t awarded a penalty in their 2-all draw with Barcelona in the Europa League.

The England forward scored his 22nd goal of the season to leave their play-off tie for a place in the last-16 finely poised going into the second leg, but Rashford felt he was clearly fouled while United were leading 2-1.
It means their Europa League play-off round tie is finely poised ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford next week.
